Orthopaedic Surgery

About Me:

Clay Canaday, DO Orthopedic Physician/Surgeon

I have a wide range of experience in orthopedics with all age groups. For 15 years, I specialized in Level 1 Trauma that involved treating patients with complex fractures from car accidents and falls. I have also practiced more general musculoskeletal care, and in recent years, focused a lot of my work on joint replacement surgery as the population of Baby Boomers gets older.

My main goal is to offer whole-patient care. I want to get to know you as a person and explain everything – your symptoms to solutions – as thoroughly as possible. I also want to make sure all of your questions are answered at every appointment.

Knee replacements are one of the most common orthopedic surgeries and will only increase as the population ages. As we get older, arthritis or perhaps an injury severely weaken the knee joint making regular activities like walking or climbing stairs too painful and other remedies, such as medication, no longer effective.
